Do you know here personally? She could very well be the exact opposite of what you are accusing her of.

Of course lets destroy her life anyway.

That's not her job. Period. That gentlemen handled her confrontation exceptionally well. I can't say I would have been anywhere near as nice.



She is not building security and you see how things turn out when some random resident fancies themselves in that position. Now she has no job and she probably can't even walk her dog outside.

Just another story where someone is looking for their 15 minutes of viral video fame and a possible payout.

If I were him, I'd be calling the police on her.

I thought that, too. Turn the tables on her and let her explain to the police why she wasn't letting him pass.

Me neither.

She was so rude and confrontational especially following him into the elevator and saying 'I want to know who you're going to see' like she couldn't possibly believe a black guy could have an apartment there.


I thought the guy was exceptionally calm under the circumstances.

Default Watch: White Woman Attempts To Block Black Man From Entering His Apartment Building

D'Arreion Toles, a black Saint Louis resident, arrived on Friday to the entrance of the luxury apartment building where he lives, but was blocked from entering by a white woman who also lives in the building.

I realize that it is highly annoying to have someone stand in the doorway of your own building but people pay for this level of security. He should understand where she is coming from. Again, I would offer proof as soon as I approached her.

This woman got fired for being white.
He offered proof: he had his key fob. When she followed him to his apartment, she watched him use HIS KEY to enter HIS APARTMENT. And yet she still called the police.

Occasionally there are people who come in behind me to my building. If I don't recognize them, I politely say, "Hey, sorry, can you key in yourself?" as I shut the door. I don't block the door with my body while yelling "YOU ARE MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE."

How on earth does this woman feel that a stranger owes her an explanation?!

I am so happy that she has been fired and humiliated.
